For super simple and easy pepperoni rolls buy:

-Pillsbury pizza crust in a tube.
-Smaller sized Pepperoni
-Food Lion brand Pizza blend shredded cheese (or shredded mozzarella and shredded provolone)
-Marinara Sauce

Unroll the crust in a tube. It's a rectangle. Lay pepperonis approx. 1/8" apart across the bottom of crust from end to end on the longer side of crust. Skip 1-2" start another row, repeat until approx. 3/4 of the entire crust is covered with pepperonis, it should look like strips on American flag. Sprinkle the entire crust with cheese blend, going a little farther than pepperonis say 80-85% of the way up leaving 2-3" of curst with no pepperoni or cheese on it.

Roll it up. Cut it at the lines of pepperoni, trying to cut in the 1/8" gaps in pepperoni (it's ok if you are sloppy and cut into the pepperonis). You will end up with a pepperoni slice thickness pinwheel. Place on parchment paper, cook at temperature that the crust instructions say for about as long as it says, checking a couple minutes before their listed time. Cook until golden brown and all bread appears cooked.

Heat up Marinara Sauce and dunk finished pepperoni rolls in it.

PS for anyone that went to Radford University in 90's to early 00's they are similar to Chancy's Crusties. Just missing the watered down ranch dressing.

Chancey's Crusties

Pizza Roll Crusties

Many months ago I got an email from Betsy’s sister-in-law asking for a favor for the next time we saw them.

Her request:

“In college, we had these things call Chanceys Crusties that were amazing and delicious and awesome (also possibly laced with something because they were amazingly addictive). Chancey’s has since closed so you can’t get them anymore. Will you make them for me?”

I’m always happy to help making long lost treats. There were a few versions of these on the internet, but I kind of made it my own, especially the filling.

If you’re wondering where the name “Crusties” comes from it’s because as these bake, some of the cheese filling actually comes out of the roll, browns on the baking sheet, and turns into crispy little cheese bits.

Crispy little cheese bits that you will want to eat.

Chancey's Crusties

An easy to make copycat version of the Chanceys Crusties recipe. These pepperoni and cheese stuffed pizza rolls are amazingly addictive!

Ingredients
Crusties Dough:
1 1/2 tbsp active dry yeast
1 cup lukewarm water
1 teas. salt
Pinch sugar
3 cups all purpose flour, plus some for shaping
Crusties:
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 teaspoons dried oregano
8 ounces Provolone cheese, grated
4-5 ounces pepperoni or salami, minced
Pinch red pepper flakes (optional)
Salt and pepper
Ranch dressing, for serving

Did you or you kids go there? They were legendary. I don't have a picture for some reason after, but here is some precooked.



HRK, are we getting a recipe? At least tell us what is inside.

These are quite simple. You can add whatever you like but the basic recipe is frozen bread dough and sliced pepperoni from the supermarket.

In the frozen food section we get a package of three bread dough loaves, and one package of pepperoni slices, your choice.

Let the bread dough thaw but not rise, otherwise you get light airy rolls and the pepperoni required will double and the juices won't infiltrate the dough while cooking.

I preheat the oven to 400 convection while I prep the rolls.

Pull off a section of bread dough, stuff in about 3 slices of pepperoni, fold over and then lay in 3 more slices, fold over and kneed into a ball, place on a greased cookie sheet.

You can make them as large or small or random as you like in size, I don't care for them being too large, prefer more pepperoni than roll.

Place them in oven for 15 minutes and check add time as needed. Pull let cool for 10 seconds and grab one because you can't wait, suggest though you heed the advice of your burning fingertips and wait a minute before shoving in your mouth.

Heres the inside, notice how the pepperoni infuses the dough with a nice flavor of the pepperoni.

Again this is the way they are made in WV, where I learned of them visiting my future in-laws and my wife bought me some at Bonnie Belles in Nutter Fort.

They keep well, I put them in a large gallon plastic ziplock bag, I guess you could freeze them but the never seem to last long enough to need freezing.

To reheat I put one in the microwave wrapped in a paper towel for about 30 seconds, less if it's smaller, a bit longer if I put in two rolls

Yes these are simple, quick, by the time the oven preheats you have them rolled up ready to go and no mess.

Best rolls ever

Colasessanos pepperoni rolls and pizza are to die for.

These are about 8" to 9" long. Fresh mozzarella cheese, square cut pepperoni sticks, sauce, and sometimes Oliverio brand peppers (Made up the road from Fairmont about 15 miles)

Several years ago. I had the pleasure of touring the pepper processing plant in Clarksburg. Tour started at 8am. One the older family members had been there since 4am processing peppers by hand. He was an older gent. Probably 80 or so.

They were probably after my time. I graduated from VA Tech in 1965.
